Sauron


A few evenings ago, we were watching the Lord of the Rings trilogy and I got to thinking about this image I had tucked away and never published.  When it comes to my personal work, I will often take images and keep them for later.. it is just part of my artistic process.

I came across this little baby caiman at a reptile exhibition hosted by Mr. Reptile.  Now, if I remember the conversation I had with the owner, Mathieu Naud, it takes a special permit to own a caiman in Québec. 

I love the way the light is hitting the eye.  If I am not mistaken, this is a spectacled caiman, and the skin detail over the eye is just crazy. Such an impressive creature.
